A healthy brain likely doesn't need any creatine. But what if you're stressed? What about sleep deprivation? Night
00:00:06
shift workers, university students cramming for a midterm. Then all of a sudden, the healthy brain becomes a
00:00:11
metabolically stressed brain. And most people fall into the stressed environment. And that's where creatine
00:00:17
comes to the rescue. And we'll talk about how much, but the more stressed it is, the higher the dose seems to come
00:00:22
into play. >> And is there anyone that shouldn't take creatine? >> Well, I've published over 120 papers
00:00:27
just on creatine alone. And we've done at least 30 to 40 studies in our lab. And I can't find anybody that can't or
00:00:33
shouldn't take creatine. So, for example, at recommended dosages, creatine can not only have potential
00:00:38
anti-cancer properties, but really speed up rehabilitation. And there's a lot of
00:00:42
hope, especially around Alzheimer's. >> And what about kids? >> The current body of evidence suggests
00:00:46
they want to get at least one gram per day because in children, they want to have optimization for bone health as
00:00:51
well as muscle development. And so I'm fascinated that this nutrient discovered in 1832 like boring for the longest time
00:00:57
as having these profound benefits we never even thought would happen. And so your viewers today will be surprised
00:01:02
about some of the things I'm going to talk about including micro doing >> and we've got this thing here in front
00:01:06
of us. This is the dosing dilemma. And I want to talk about how much I need to take for all these things. And I want to
00:01:10
talk about nutrition, protein, weight training, etc. But before that, you've got five myths in front of you. Can you
00:01:16
reveal one by one what they are? >> So this is Oh, I can't believe you did this one to me. Creatine causes hair
00:01:21
loss. I was going bald before I started taking creatine. Myth number two.
